>Keep me posted on how your nets are doing. It's great to share >successes and failures with others to get an idea of what works and >what doesn't. Maybe we can echange some nets in the future... Sounds good...I enjoy sharing my results and learning from others. Thanks for the multi-chart info...I think I finally have it figured out. One thing I noticed while training is that it seems like setting the 'train for profit' criteria changes the %predicted response amplitude. This has been one of the hardest things to nail down for making a net profitable...I can often see the change correctly predicted but many times the predicted size of the change is not very close to the actual change. A closer match in the size would give a much better margin on the trading strategy (any trading strategy). Of course I guess the risk of overtraining is ever-present and, after all, it is only a forecast... if you can hit the correct trend on the correct market that is most of the battle anyway ;-) //Kevin
